Jo Ann Johnson, 82, of Boise

Jo Ann Alice Johnson passed away July 9, 2014, in Boise, Idaho. She was born March 7, 1932, in Waukesha, Wisc.

Our mother was a remarkable woman who, through her strong dedication, always kept her family first. We always felt her love. Even the orphan lambs on our farm never went without her love and nurturing.

She had an infectious laugh, and lived and loved life to the fullest. This will live on with us forever. During the years she stood behind her family and instilled the values that we will proudly carry for the rest of our lives. She will be greatly missed.

She is survived by her husband of 60 years, Richard Dale Johnson; her daughter Sandy Koch; her son Kermit Johnson; and grandson Jason Foley.

A memorial service is pending.
